Can We Take the Night Off?

I've got so many things to do

Always busy too often

Guess we got that in common, 'cause

You give up so much of yourself

So I can't ask how you've been, how you felt

When you come home with nothing left

We fall asleep before saying goodnight

We disagree but we're too tired to fight

Is that how it goes?

Is this how we die?

Or can we take the night off?

I like you better with the lights on

Give me a minute to get in your head

I'm catching up just to lose you again

Can we slow down?

Stuck in time, it's like we're space bound

Keep losing track, how long has it been?

I'm catching up just to lose you again

Always ask if you love me still

You say 'Yes, would you stop it

Now we're grown so it won't be the same

As it was when we started'

We fall asleep before saying goodnight

We disagree but we're too tired to fight

Is that how it goes?

Is this how we die?

Or can we take the night off?

I like you better with the lights on

Give me a minute to get in your head

I'm catching up just to lose you again

Can we slow down?

Stuck in time, it's like we're space bound

Keep losing track, how long has it been?

I'm catching up just to lose you again

All I want, all I want is more of your time

So can we take off, baby take off the night

Let me show ya how we can slow it

Slow it down down down down down

Or can we take the night off?

I like you better with the lights on

Give me a minute to get in your head

I'm catching up just to lose you again

Can we slow down?

Stuck in time, it's like we're space bound

Keep losing track, how long has it been?

I'm catching up just to lose you again

All I want's more of your time

I don't want to waste this life

Can you take off just one night?
